Compassionate Dorset, the local supporter group for the leading farm animal welfare charity Compassion in World Farming, have teamed up with South West Artwork and Meetdraw to look for talented designers and artists to design more farm animal themed t-shirts to add to our online t-shirt shop. We are hoping to select at least 4 winning designs and 100% profits from all online sales (that's at least £3 - £5 for every product sold) will be donated to the charity.
Our #1 mission is to end factory farming and promote compassionate living, and we'd like more creatives to join the herd...
The brief is simple - design a supercool, funky or beautiful and attractive t-shirt on the theme of FARM ANIMALS.
Sheep, Pigs, Cows, Goats, Chickens, Ducks - even Game Birds and Fish are often farmed!
Or you can do a whole farmyard or something more abstract or text based on the idea of ending factory farming.
Take a look at our current online shop with designs by Illustrator Stu Jones on: http://compassionatedorset.spreadshirt.co.uk
(the current bestseller is our 'Highland Cow').
You can enter as many designs as you like.
The winners will be announced as we launch the new t-shirt designs on our online shop for June 1st - just in time for Summer!
All designers will retain copyright and be credited on the relevant product pages in our online shop and on our winner's page here on our main website, and will have the credibility of having designed apparel for the leading farm animal welfare charityCompassion in World Farming. Compassionate Dorset t-shirts are also stocked in the new What Alice Found vintage art and fashion shop in Boscombe, Dorset by South West Artwork.
The deadline to send your designs is on or by Monday 16th May 2011.
The judging panel will be:
* Anna Celeste Watson - Founder and Web Designer at Compassionate Dorset
* Stu Jones - Resident Illustrator at Compassionate Dorset
* Laura Mulhern - Co-Founder of South West Artwork
* Paul Seys - Board Member of Meetdraw and Head of User Experience at Redweb
EMAIL YOUR ARTWORK TO: info@compassionatedorset.co.uk on or before Monday 16th May 2011.
Artwork must be sent ready to upload to the online shop, to the following specifications:
* Save vector graphics as .ai (up to version CS2)
* Save pixel graphics as .jpg, .bmp, .gif or .png (png is preferred)
* Size of pixel graphics: max 10 MB and at least 300dpi
* All designs must be able to sit on a transparent background to be printed on any colour
(Please Note: some products such as hoodies and organic options are only currently available in white)
If the file is over 4MB please send it via a file sharing client - we recommend www.yousendit.com.
We'll confirm receipt of all entries received.
Winning designs will be printed on t-shirts by Spreadshirt using their print-on-demand service (they keep the rest of the money from sales for this service and we donate all our commission to Compassion in World Farming).
There are 3 main printing techniques available; Flex, Flock or Digital.
Please Note: Due to printing costs we would prefer Digital (full colour) or Flex 1 colour (otherwise we'll get less commission to donate to charity or will have to price higher). If you wish to send two different versions to sit on either a black/dark/colour t-shirt and also work on a white t-shirt please do so.
* Digital - full colour (no limits on number of colours)
* Flex - up to 3 colours max
* Special Flex - 1 colour max
* Flock - up to 3 colours max
